Quarterback Eli Manning may be the biggest name and most accomplished player on the Giants, but he's apparently not a great value for your fantasy team.

Rotoworld's Evan Silva put out his Top 150 players for fantasy football this week and Manning didn't even make the cut. Wide receivers Victor Cruz (35) and Rueben Randle (50) and running back Rashad Jennings (66) were the three Giants to appear.

I know, stunning. No Giants tight end? No Larry Donnell or Daniel Fells or Kellen Davis? These national guys must be biased against the Giants.

Or maybe they have it pegged right with Manning just like they do (obviously) with the tight ends. Fantasy football is solely stat-based. Manning has never been a huge stats guy. He has just one season with 30-plus touchdown passes and is often among the league leaders in interceptions. That makes him a tough sell as a Top 10 or 12 fantasy quarterback. There are not bonus points for Super Bowl championships.

Cruz, however, has put up good numbers when he's been on the field each of the past three seasons. Even last year, he fell two yards shy of 1,000 yards despite missing two games.

In this new offense, Cruz should also thrive. He' averaged 80 catches per season over the past three years, and it's not inconceivable for that to jump to 100 receptions this year with the Giants running a West Coast-based offense that relies heavily on short, quick passes. This plays right into Cruz's strengths and should lead to a big season.

Silva also is very high on Randle. He believes thrust into a starting role that the third-year receiver is ready to thrive. Randle should be the Giants' top red-zone threat, too.

Wrote Silva:

My top breakout WR pick. 9 TDs on 60 career catches.

Jennings is also considered a useful fantasy player this season in the feature back role. Silva hasn't been especially high on the 29-year-old oft-injured back, but recent events have nonetheless increased his value.

Jennings raced for a 73-yard touchdown run in the Giants' preseason game against the Steelers. This came the same week that David Wilson was forced to step away from the game. Wilson's no longer around to take some of the passing-down snaps away from Jennings. His absence actually puts more of a burden on Jennings than anyone else.

In fantasy football, that is a positive. The more carries, the more catches, the more yards, the better. It makes Jennings a mid-round pick.

Cruz, Randle and Jennings are worth drafting in standard leagues, according to Silva. As for Manning, he's maybe worth a flier as a reserve in the late rounds, if only because it's possible the offense takes time to gel and he becomes a useful fantasy player later in the season.

That's why Manning landed on Silva's "Also Considered" list. He was joined there by rookie wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. and former Giants wide receiver Hakeem Nicks, who now plays for the Colts.
